People have kids that can move out? And they have money for retirement? I'm guessing this isn't in America...?

But the whole point of rice is to bulk out more expensive food. Even the expensive Japanese sticky rice is just there to stretch out the actual food.

Why are you trying to keep your rice out of your curry, who eats them separately, that's insane

The size of Monica's apartment was mentioned in the show. It was her grandma's apartment and under rent control; the apartment building didn't know that it wasn't the Grandma anymore. With that, it wasn't unreasonable for her to be able to afford it during the 90s

"Threat actor" is more formal. Hacker is a more colloquial term with historically ambiguous meaning.

I tried to track down some information for the US, but it seems like the tax code around it is incredibly complicated and it's been a long time since I had a job where any kind of "gift" was given.

In my somewhat limited experience, American corporations tend to look at employee related expenses holistically, so regardless of who writes the tax check and how the paperwork is shuffled, the expense is considered roughly the same.

Edit: to tie into my original comment, it means that the company has decided what it has budgeted for employees, and any additional taxes would come out of future compensation adjustments and/or reduction in staff instead of showing up as a line item on the paycheck
